White Sox Place Elvis Andrus On 10-Day IL, Reinstate Romy Gonzalez

By Mark Polishuk | May 13, 2023 at 3:35pm CDT

The White Sox placed infielder Elvis Andrus on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique.  Taking Andrus’ spot on the active roster is Romy Gonzalez, who returns after his own 10-day IL stint due to inflammation in his right shoulder.

The injury occurred in yesterday’s 5-1 loss to the Astros, as Andrus reported some discomfort in his side after his final at-bat of the game.  Andrus was then replaced in the field for the top of the ninth, and the injury has proven troublesome enough to merit a trip to the IL.  The severity of Andrus’ strain isn’t yet known, though even if Andrus has only a Grade 1 strain (the lowest level of oblique problems), he is still likely to miss at least three or four weeks of action.

It has already been a rough year for Andrus, who has hit only .201/.280/.254 over 151 plate appearances.  Re-signed to a one-year, $3MM free agent deal in the offseason, Andrus was projected to be Chicago’s regular second baseman, but he has ended up getting a lot of time at his normal shortstop position due to Tim Anderson’s own stint on the IL earlier this season.  Defensive utility notwithstanding, Andrus’ lack of offensive production has resulted in a -0.1 fWAR performance through his first 39 games of the season.

Lenyn Sosa saw a lot of time at the keystone when Andrus was playing shortstop, but with Sosa currently at Triple-A, Gonzalez and Hanser Alberto figure to split second base duties in Andrus’ absence.  It’s not an ideal situation for a White Sox team that signed Andrus to ostensibly stabilize a longstanding hole at second base, though Alberto (a minor league signing) has at least hit .255/.304/.510 in his first 57 PA with the White Sox.

    Worst thing that ever happen to this organization is head trainer Herm Schneider’s retirement. Second worst thing is giving big contracts to Cuban and Dominican players prior to arbitration years being used up.

      Was it a voluntary retirement?…I know the Yankees replaced their whole training staff a few yrs back, because of a massive number of injuries and replaced them with a group of “New Age” young trainers. The switch did nothing to reduce injuries really.

      Completely agree! They have no sense of urgency

        Schneider got married and they had a child. Maybe that’s why he retired. But you didn’t see as many injuries when he was the trainer.

    Just ran into Romy at the Room place on Cicero Ave in Scottsdale . I had no clue who even was. I had on my 76 Jorge Orta vintage jersey. He tapped me on the shoulder as he knew I was a huge Sox fan. Class guy! He actually paid for the couch I was going to buy. You heard it here first

          Since the Sox absolutely refuse to fix a three year problem of finding an actual second baseman, I guess it’s a very generous Andrus willing to switch positions and a bunch of incapable minor leaguers taking up space at 2b.

        Just ran into Ryan Tepera at the airport. Word is that he is coming back to chicago on a minor league deal. He knew that I was a huge fan as I was wearing my Ken Kravec jersey from 1977
